a heroic act is brave, an act of kindness, someone places themselves at
risk for another

elements; voluntary, done to help people or community in need, involves
some type of risk, done without any need for compensation
his foundation teaches individuals how to resist social forces that influence
our behaviour negatively & to refocus our behaviour into positive social
action
suggests that being a hero isn't a unique quality but behaviour that anyone
can display
universal human tendencies are automatic & can be useful but in
challenging situations, we over-rely on them and make poor decisions
